Marks: +1, -0

A car mechanic was employed by his master, the defendant to repair cars. He repaired a car and then drove the car for a short distance to check whether he had repaired the car properly or not. In the process he caused an accident injuring the plaintiff. The master is

Liable because it was his servant who had negligently caused the accident for which he was vicariously liable
Not liable because the mechanic was supposed to repair only and as such driving by him was outside his course of employment
Liable because driving was necessarily incidental to the duties of the mechanic since he was duty bound to check by driving whether the repair he had done were correctly done or not
Not liable because repairing and driving were two distinct acts, and the mechanic was not authorised to drive but was duty bound to repair only
